About Peter Gurtner

We are a Canadian/Swiss couple who have made Costa Rica our home for 15 years. It is a pleasure for us to share our resources and experience with you in order to help you make the most of your vacation. We offer you up to date info regarding local activities, culture, adventure as well as details regarding off the beaten path gems in nature. Our house is next door to Casa Pepito so any support or questions, just ring the doorbell or call us.

Why Peter Gurtner chose Nosara

Our gem in Paradise! A piece of Heaven on Earth! After exploring Costa Rica our hearts feel so much at home in Playa Garza. The dry and sunny climate of Guanacaste was priority and the side of the mountain a perfect perch for taking in the simple joy and beauty of nature and the magnificient Pacific Ocean. The vib of the fishing village, 3 minutes from the house, has a charm and laid back feeling that blends with the authentic and humble way of life in Playa Garza.

What makes this house unique

Casa Pepito was built with dedication and love of detail for quality and simple elegance by Peter. Our favorite área of the house is for sure the huge terrace as 'Living Outside'all year long in this delicious climate is why we love living here. A comfy hammock to chillax or a refreshing dip in the jacuzzi on a hot summer night. We are living our dream with gratitude everyday.

Pura Vida Paradise

Sometimes the best things about a vacation rental surprise you. We chose La Casita because we fell in love with its style — online and in person — yet, the reason why we miss it is because of Erin, our host. La Casita spared no detail to create an intimate, charming and private vacation getaway -- from the amazing wood details to the fully stocked kitchen and welcome bouquet from Erin's garden. While it's the perfect place for privacy in spades -- she and Peter designed it for just that — what we welcomed most was Erin's (and Lila, her dog) incredible hospitality. Being a part of Villa Mango is to be embraced by Erin and Peter's warm generosity -- from the welcome wine to enjoying a peek into the relaxed and vibrant lifestyle that can be found in this slice of Nosara. Erin showed us the meaning of Pura Vida and family. Many thanks, Erin.

Stunning Costa Rican Vila

Peter & Erin were amazing hosts, always nearby when we needed them, but never intrusive. They even invited us up to there house (just up the hill) for sundowners on our last evening. We feel like we made new friends. Erin even spared some time to give us a what to do in the area session.The Villa is quite simply stunning , with views across the native bush to the sea. We could watch the wildlife in front of us and just soak up this beautiful piece of paradise. The Villa was immaculate and everything our family of four could wish for. We can not recommend Peter & Erin and their beautiful Villa enough. We will be back. Mark & Diana

3 years living in paradise !

We are happy to have had the opportunity to live in such a gem of a home for the past 3 years. This luxury house has everything you need to be totally comfortable and cozy. It has a gorgeous view to the bay of Garza and is nestled in a very tranquil natural environment. The location was perfect for all of our needs like, shopping, fishing, beach, surfing, gym, restaurants and more. Erin and Peter are wonderful hosts and were always attentive to our needs and the ongoing care of the house and garden. We are sad to go as we now must relocate we really love your house and is a beutifull place to live. thank you so much for let US to stay at your sweet home.

Beautiful, Welcoming, and Relaxing!!

Casa Pepito exceeded all of our expectations and they started out very high. It is a beautiful house in a great setting. We will never forget lounging in the soaking pool and watching the howler monkeys troop by. Erin and Peter were wonderful hosts. We rented the Sugar Shack 1 day, and wish it could have been more - it was so relaxing to be on the beach with hammocks/chairs/and other great amenities. We love Costa Rica and love Casa Pepito - hope we can return!!

Georges Casa in beautiful scenery.

We had wonderfull time in Casa Pepito.House is so well built with stunning views. Waking up in Casa Pepito is like you are in National Geographic documentary. Sound of birds, howling monkeys and sun rising, just breath taking. We will really miss it.

We loved Nosara area, so much activities and exploring.Coming back to Casa is anather exciting thing to do. Also doing nothing and relaxing is great option.

Peter and Erin is one of the best host we have met. Very helpful and knowledgeable. They are close by, but

they dont interfere with your privacy.

Thank you Erin and Peter, memories where made for us and our girls in your beautiful house in amaizing

Wonderful home in a great community!

We spent two wonderful weeks at Casa Pepito, enjoying the home and community in our return to the Nosara area. Erin and Peter have built a lovely home that includes everything you'll need while elegantly reflecting the simplicity that is Costa Rica.

About Casa Pepito. The privacy and views are great, meeting our high expectations. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and well-appointed. And the indoor/outdoor space provides a perfect mix of sun and shade, and the chance to cool down in the dunkin' jacuzzi. The home was spotless and seemed almost new...we were surprised that it has such a robust rental history.

If you want to experience the local culture with most of the pleasures of home, Nosara/Garza is a good choice. The village has the essentials and the locals are friendly. There are plenty of restaurants and attractions very close by. The beaches are long and walkable, with a variety of people and wildlife to watch. And one of our personal favorites, the monkeys, came to visit us at the house a couple of times during our stay. We couldn't ask for more!

Thanks Erin and Peter for being such gracious hosts! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
